Nymphs - Nymph - Netflix

A nymph (Greek: νύμφη, nýmphē [nýmpʰɛː]) in Greek and Latin mythology is
a minor female nature deity typically associated with a particular
location or landform. Different from other goddesses, nymphs are
generally regarded as divine spirits who animate nature, and are usually
depicted as beautiful, young nubile maidens who love to dance and sing;
their amorous freedom sets them apart from the restricted and chaste
wives and daughters of the Greek polis. They are beloved by many and
dwell in mountainous regions and forests by lakes and streams. Although
they would never die of old age nor illness, and could give birth to
fully immortal children if mated to a god, they themselves were not
necessarily immortal, and could be beholden to death in various forms.
Charybdis and Scylla were once nymphs. Other nymphs, always in the shape
of young maidens, were part of the retinue of a god, such as Dionysus,
Hermes, or Pan, or a goddess, generally the huntress Artemis. Nymphs
were the frequent target of satyrs.

A motif that entered European art during the Renaissance was the idea of
a statue of a nymph sleeping in a grotto or spring. This motif
supposedly came from an Italian report of a Roman sculpture of a nymph
at a fountain above the River Danube. The report, and an accompanying
poem supposedly on the fountain describing the sleeping nymph, are now
generally concluded to be a fifteenth-century forgery, but the motif
proved influential among artists and landscape gardeners for several
centuries after, with copies seen at neoclassical gardens such as the
grotto at Stourhead.
